Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff understand their roles and responsibilities to keep children safe. The nursery is clean and resources are safe and secure. Staff implement a suitable range of risk assessments to promote children's safety. Recruitment and vetting procedures are robust. Systems for observation, assessment and planning are in place and used well by staff. This supports children to make continually good progress. The management team is dedicated and has high expectations for the nursery. Staff are well qualified and experienced. The manager monitors their performance and supports them through effective supervision. Information is consistently shared with parents and other professionals. This joined-up approach contributes to children's overall well-being and further supports their continued good progress.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff purposefully engage with children and get down to their level. This helps to focus and engage their attention and concentration. Staff provide lots of different ways for children to be creative and use their imaginations. For example, children pretend to bake cakes and pour drinks for tea. Staff make the most of these opportunities to build on and extend children's language skills. Children enjoy sharing their personal experiences with staff. Children's understanding of mathematical concepts is developing well. One of the ways that staff help is by using mathematical language as they engage in children's play. For example, they play mathematical games, count out blocks and sing songs predicting how many will be left when one is removed.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The warm and welcoming learning environment is organised to help children enjoy their play. Children enjoy lots of physical activities outside. Indoors, they take part in regular sport and movement classes, helping to develop their physical skills and social skills. Children are learning about keeping themselves safe. For example, they carefully follow simple safety rules, such as waiting their turn and sharing equipment. Furthermore, children show care and concern for each other. Staff provide opportunities for children to extend their independence skills. As they serve themselves at snack time and pour their own drinks. Furthermore, they talk with staff about the foods they need to eat to keep them healthy.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are keen and active learners who feel comfortable in their surroundings and enjoy their time at the nursery. They are eager to try new experiences and interact well with staff and each other. Children are developing good imaginative and social skills. They act out and retell favourite stories. They are developing the skills needed for future learning and school. Funding is used well to support children to make continued good progress, including those who have special educational needs.
